IV. Installation
Clean the supplied parts (discharge block, stirrer, seal rings, etc.) and assemble them onto the machine in turns as follows:
- Lead the trumpet-shaped ring onto the square shaft of the stirrer from the smaller opening before inserting the square shaft into the hole of the cylinder. Turn the stirrer with your hand. If you feel resistance, it means the shaft has been assembled to its place.
- Attach the oval seal ring to the slot on the discharge cover before mounting the cover onto the discharge block. Tighten the spherical nut with the supplied socket spanner. Do not exert extreme force.
- Put the O-ring into the O-shaped slot of the discharge block. Then attach the discharge block to the screw of the evaporator by tightening the four knob nuts. The machine is now ready for making ice cream.
V. How to Make Ice Cream
Model: YKF-618
- Put the ice cream powder into a clean container and add 40°C water. (The rate of powder and water is 1:2.5-3.0, i.e., add 2.5-3.0 kg water for 1 kg powder.) If necessary, add a proper amount of milk, sugar, and essences. Mix them evenly.
- Turn on the power. Move the prepared ice cream slurry to the hopper so that it can flow into the cylinder gradually. Be sure not to exceed the mark upon replenishing.
- Hold down the "⚙️" key to set up the time value between 10-35 minutes. (Tips: The set value may be recycled. Save the value and quit the system automatically by leaving the key untouched for 5 seconds.)
- Hold down the "▶️" key to start the motor. The digital display screen will start counting down. One minute later, the compressor starts by itself, and the ice cream making process begins.
- A few minutes later, "End" will be seen on the digital display screen, and the machine stops running. This indicates the ice cream is ready.
- Loosen the nut on the discharge cover and remove it. Hold down the "⚙️" key. The stirrer will push out the ready ice cream slowly. Put the ice cream into a freezer for cold storage.
- Re-attach the discharge cover. Replenish the ice cream raw materials to repeat the process.
